Version 1.6 Of Tahoe-LAFS Distributed Data Store

The Tahoe-LAFS team have released version 1.6 of their Tahoe-LAFS
distributed data store.

Tahoe-LAFS offers provider-independent security, which means the
cloud service provider must gain user consent to access and alter
data stored on the cloud. It also spreads the user’s filesystem
across multiple servers.

Version 1.6 introduces cryptographically unalterable, permanent
snapshots. The webapi has also acquired a new command for creating
and populating a directory in a single call; and the tracebacks
produced by errors in CLI tools should now be in plain text which
is readable outside of the browser. Full details are available at
the Release Notes.

Version 1.6 is fully compatible with the version 1 series of
Tahoe-LAFS, which will continue to be actively supported and
maintained for the foreseeable future.
